Sedum Garden

"Sedum Garden"
8" x 8"
Pastel on canvas panel

It's the end of the season for Mary's garden, but the sedum were at their peak, so I featured them amongst the sticks and stems of what was a gorgeous display a month ago when I was there. 

This piece is VERY much prettier in person… very tapestry like, but the greens photographed as black.

Tapestry Roses

"Tapestry Roses"
4" x 4"
Pastel on gessoed hardboard

The roses in the pattern on my new scarf appealed to me — reminded me of roses I've painted in oil. Yet I wanted to depict them in the way my hand wants to paint some subject matter now. 

My paintings with this loose kind of scribble have generated a lot of comments. I'm intrigued with this style and plan to pursue it, if I can, in larger pieces.
